## Description
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service
					(NIFRS) is seeking to appoint four Economic Operators to enter into
					framework agreements and Term Service Contracts for the provision
					of building maintenance, planned/preventative maintenance and minor
					works which may incorporate mechanical and electrical works,
					building services, construction, civil engineering, roofing,
					joinery, flooring, window and door repairs, painting, glazing works
					and other specialist works including appliance room door
					maintenance and servicing. The Economic Operators shall have the
					resources in place to attend any works required 24 hours per day,
					365 days per year (366 days in a leap year) (including all holidays
					and weekends). They shall have significant flexibility and readily
					available multi-disciplinary resources to provide the contracting
					Authority with a rapid response and an ability to deal with
					emergency type works. The contract will be in place for a period of
					two years. The Contracting Authority has at its discretion the
					option to extend for a further one year period plus an additional
					one year period (2 year + 1 + 1), subject to demonstrable
					satisfactory performance by the Economic Operator within the terms
					and conditions stated in the Invitation to Tender documentation.
					The Contracting Authority is not under any obligation to award any
					call off contracts under the Framework Agreement. The Contracting
					Authority is not responsible for meeting any costs incurred by the
					Economic Operator should the value of any call off contracts
					awarded under the Framework Agreement fall short of Economic
					Operators’ expectations. The Contracting Authority reserves the
					right at any time to procure similar or identical work outside the
					Framework Agreement.
